Description

The Take Off and Landing of Everything is the sixth studio album by British alternative rock band Elbow, released in the UK, Europe, and Australia through Fiction Records on 10 March 2014 and in the US on Concord Records on 11 March 2014.Originally recorded with the working title of All at Once and then renamed Carry Her, Carry Me after a line in closing track "The Blanket of Night", the band changed their mind shortly before the album's release and settled on naming the album after one of its tracks. Singer Guy Garvey explained, "It's to do with the fact that there have been [so many] life events. There are five members of the band—people have split up, got together, had children. It never stops, this stuff. Especially round the [age of] 40 mark... and yet I wanted to remain celebratory about that. Everybody's feeling relief, with remorse, next to joy, next to loss. But I think laughing very hard and worrying very little is a good way to keep young."

Depressing. Just because we can does it mean we should? Hey, why not? If I were in this band I would be thinking " what the heck, best job I've ever had". Works with a six pack of Stella, a bottle of wine and something to smoke. Woe is me .... sniff. :..-(

Elbow discovered Poms living in Australia really miss out on decent radio. Every now and again, usually late in the game, I get to discover another magnificent British band. Today's paper tells me a band named Elbow are coming to Sydney. I listen to their album on youtube. Bang. I'm hooked. I wonder what age you have to be when you stop wanting to hear rock music ? To the person who posted this album on youtube. Nice One. Thanks. Yes, I bought it.

Wonderful My favourite track in this album has to be New York Morning, the lyrics of which are descriptive, meaningful, and fit very well with the song. Overall, this album retains and continues Elbow's distinctive sound brilliantly.
